[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So the sponsor of this bill represents people who would prefer not to live in his district (which already has lots of multi-family units)?[/quote]

While much of his district is poor, multi-family housing, much of it is also single family.  Some single family in the Town of Herndon, but much of it is suburban single family and townhouses.

Believe me, the houses in the single family developments do not want tear downs and new duplexes put next door.

[b]The delegate has an urban vision [/b]that is likely not shared by his constituents.  He thinks he will be helping the poor, immigrant families, but, instead, he will be gentrifying much of the area.

Frankly, I doubt he has lived in his district very long.  He was raised in Jordan and then returned to attend university---American and Boston.  I don't think he is as familiar with his district as he would have you believe.[/quote]

If duplexes count as "urban", then the word "urban" has lost all meaning.[/quote]
